Pros
(+) Classic training on how to run a business (+) Colgate values are reflected within company culture, caring and work/life balance (+) Retention - many managers have been with the company for a long time (10-20yrs!) (+) Good locations - most sales managers are field-based - home offices or have offices in cities closest to the accounts (+) New U.S. President - has a great management style, leading change!
Cons
(-) Innovation - usually not first to market with new items (-) Cross-functionality within roles - it is difficult to work with other divisions without getting pushback
